* `PyFrame_FastToLocalsWithError` and `PyFrame_LocalsToFast` are no longer called during profile and tracing.
(Contributed by Fabio Zadrozny)
* Make accesses to a frame's `f_locals` safe from C code, not relying on calls to `PyFrame_FastToLocals` or `PyFrame_LocalsToFast`.
* Document new `PyFrame_GetLocals` C-API function.
Add new functions to pack and unpack C double (serialize and
deserialize):
* PyFloat_Pack2(), PyFloat_Pack4(), PyFloat_Pack8()
* PyFloat_Unpack2(), PyFloat_Unpack4(), PyFloat_Unpack8()
Document these functions and add unit tests.
Rename private functions and move them from the internal C API
to the public C API:
* _PyFloat_Pack2() => PyFloat_Pack2()
* _PyFloat_Pack4() => PyFloat_Pack4()
* _PyFloat_Pack8() => PyFloat_Pack8()
* _PyFloat_Unpack2() => PyFloat_Unpack2()
* _PyFloat_Unpack4() => PyFloat_Unpack4()
* _PyFloat_Unpack8() => PyFloat_Unpack8()
Replace the "unsigned char*" type with "char*" which is more common
and easy to use.
* C API docs: move PyErr_SetImportErrorSubclass docs
It was in the section about warnings, but it makes more sense to
put it with PyErr_SetImportError.
* C API docs: document closeit argument to PyRun_AnyFileExFlags
It was already documented for PyRun_SimpleFileExFlags.
* textual fixes to unicode docs
* Move paragraph about tp_dealloc into tp_dealloc section
* __aiter__ returns an async iterator, not an awaitable
This reduces the size of the data segment by **300 KB** of the executable because if the modules are deep-frozen then the marshalled frozen data just wastes space. This was inspired by comment by @gvanrossum in https://github.com/python/cpython/pull/29118#issuecomment-958521863. Note: There is a new option `--deepfreeze-only` in `freeze_modules.py` to change this behavior, it is on be default to save disk space.

When Python is embedded in other applications, it is not easy to determine which version of Python is being used. This change exposes the Python version as part of the API data. Tools like Austin (https://github.com/P403n1x87/austin) can benefit from this data when targeting applications like uWSGI, as the Python version can then be inferred systematically by looking at the exported symbols rather than relying on unreliable pattern matching or other hacks (like remote code execution etc...).

The getpath.py file is frozen at build time and executed as code over a namespace. It is never imported, nor is it meant to be importable or reusable. However, it should be easier to read, modify, and patch than the previous code.
This commit attempts to preserve every previously tested quirk, but these may be changed in the future to better align platforms.
Rename PyConfig.no_debug_ranges to PyConfig.code_debug_ranges and
invert the value.
Document -X no_debug_ranges and PYTHONNODEBUGRANGES env var in
PyConfig.code_debug_ranges documentation.
It is now considered a historical accident that e.g. `for` loops and the `iter()` built-in function do not require the iterators they work with to define `__iter__`, only `__next__`.
Objects that support garbage collection ("container" objects) should
call PyObject_GC_UnTrack() from their destructors before clearing any
fields which may point to other "container" objects.
Add PyThreadState_EnterTracing() and PyThreadState_LeaveTracing()
functions to the limited C API to suspend and resume tracing and
profiling.
Add an unit test on the PyThreadState C API to _testcapi.
Add also internal _PyThreadState_DisableTracing() and
_PyThreadState_ResetTracing().
Replace old names when they refer to actual versions of macOS.
Keep historical names in references to older versions.

Add the Py_ALWAYS_INLINE macro to ask the compiler to always inline a
static inline function. The compiler can ignore it and decides to not
inline the function.
Convert the Py_TYPE() and Py_SIZE() macros to static inline
functions. The Py_SET_TYPE() and Py_SET_SIZE() functions must now be
used to set an object type and size.
Fix PyAiter_Check to only check for the `__anext__` presense (not for
`__aiter__`). Rename `PyAiter_Check()` to `PyAIter_Check()`,
`PyObject_GetAiter()` -> `PyObject_GetAIter()`.

Frozen modules must be added to several files in order to work properly. Before this change this had to be done manually. Here we add a tool to generate the relevant lines in those files instead. This helps us avoid mistakes and omissions.
https://bugs.python.org/issue45019
* Remove code that checks Py_TPFLAGS_HAVE_VERSION_TAG
The field is always present in the type struct, as explained
in the added comment.
* Remove Py_TPFLAGS_HAVE_AM_SEND
The flag is not needed, and since it was added in 3.10 it can be removed now.
Heap types with the Py_TPFLAGS_IMMUTABLETYPE flag can now inherit the
PEP 590 vectorcall protocol. Previously, this was only possible for static types.

I tried to be relatively thorough and give lots of links.
One reason is that this wasn't deprecated very long; also it seems people running into this tend to not be familiar with similar APIs.

Py_RunMain() now resets PyImport_Inittab to its initial value at
exit. It must be possible to call PyImport_AppendInittab() or
PyImport_ExtendInittab() at each Python initialization.
Convert the Py_TYPE() and Py_SIZE() macros to static inline
functions. The Py_SET_TYPE() and Py_SET_SIZE() functions must now be
used to set an object type and size.
Deprecate the following functions to configure the Python
initialization:
* PySys_AddWarnOption()
* PySys_AddWarnOptionUnicode()
* PySys_AddXOption()
* PySys_HasWarnOptions()
* Py_SetPath()
* Py_SetProgramName()
* Py_SetPythonHome()
* Py_SetStandardStreamEncoding()
* _Py_SetProgramFullPath()
Use the new PyConfig API of the Python Initialization Configuration
instead (PEP 587).
- Reformat the C API and ABI Versioning page (and extend/clarify a bit)
- Rewrite the stable ABI docs into a general text on C API Compatibility
- Add a list of Limited API contents, and notes for the individual items.
- Replace `Include/README.rst` with a link to a devguide page with the same info
Add a new Py_TPFLAGS_DISALLOW_INSTANTIATION type flag to disallow
creating type instances: set tp_new to NULL and don't create the
"__new__" key in the type dictionary.
The flag is set automatically on static types if tp_base is NULL or
&PyBaseObject_Type and tp_new is NULL.
Use the flag on the following types:
* _curses.ncurses_version type
* _curses_panel.panel
* _tkinter.Tcl_Obj
* _tkinter.tkapp
* _tkinter.tktimertoken
* _xxsubinterpretersmodule.ChannelID
* sys.flags type
* sys.getwindowsversion() type
* sys.version_info type
Update MyStr example in the C API documentation to use
Py_TPFLAGS_DISALLOW_INSTANTIATION.
Add _PyStructSequence_InitType() function to create a structseq type
with the Py_TPFLAGS_DISALLOW_INSTANTIATION flag set.
type_new() calls _PyType_CheckConsistency() at exit.
* Add also references to --with-trace-refs option.
* Move _ob_next and _ob_prev at the end, since they don't exist by
default and are related to debug.
Introduce Py_TPFLAGS_IMMUTABLETYPE flag for immutable type objects, and
modify PyType_Ready() to set it for static types.

Add new C-API functions to control the state of the garbage collector:
PyGC_Enable(), PyGC_Disable(), PyGC_IsEnabled(),
corresponding to the functions in the gc module.

The suspicious check is still executed as part of the release process and release managers have been
lately fixing some actual errors that the suspicious target can find. For this reason, reactivate the suspicious
until we decide what to do in a coordinated fashion.
Add the Py_Is(x, y) function to test if the 'x' object is the 'y'
object, the same as "x is y" in Python. Add also the Py_IsNone(),
Py_IsTrue(), Py_IsFalse() functions to test if an object is,
respectively, the None singleton, the True singleton or the False
singleton.
Add Doc/using/configure.rst documentation to document configure,
preprocessor, compiler and linker options.
Add a new section about the "Python debug build".
See [PEP 597](https://www.python.org/dev/peps/pep-0597/).
* Add `-X warn_default_encoding` and `PYTHONWARNDEFAULTENCODING`.
* Add EncodingWarning
* Add io.text_encoding()
* open(), TextIOWrapper() emits EncodingWarning when encoding is omitted and warn_default_encoding is enabled.
* _pyio.TextIOWrapper() uses UTF-8 as fallback default encoding used when failed to import locale module. (used during building Python)
* bz2, configparser, gzip, lzma, pathlib, tempfile modules use io.text_encoding().
* What's new entry
Stefan Krah requested the reversal of these (unreleased) changes, quoting him:
> The capsule API does not meet my testing standards, since I've focused
on the upstream mpdecimal in the last couple of months.
> Additionally, I'd like to refine the API, perhaps together with the
Arrow community.

For some mysterious reason we have PySet_Check, PyFrozenSet_Check, PyAnySet_Check, PyAnySet_CheckExact and PyFrozenSet_CheckExact but no PySet_CheckExact.
* Refactor _PyFrame_New_NoTrack() and PyFunction_NewWithQualName()
code.
* PyFrame_New() checks for _PyEval_BuiltinsFromGlobals() failure.
* Fix a ref leak in _PyEval_BuiltinsFromGlobals() error path.
* Complete PyFunction_GetModule() documentation: it returns a
borrowed reference and it can return NULL.
* Move _PyEval_BuiltinsFromGlobals() definition to the internal C
API.
* PyFunction_NewWithQualName() uses _Py_IDENTIFIER() API for the
"__name__" string to make it compatible with subinterpreters.
